please help me get rid of these red arrows!

[chrysolite]

I recently moved, and reformatted (perhaps a little hastily) during the downtime before my internet got reconnected. Upon redownloading/installing µTorrent, I was shocked to discover that on all torrents my download arrows were red, and all but one torrent (I currently have five queued) have zero seeds and peers listed! I have never had this problem with the software before. I'm not a total noob, but networking is admittedly not my strong suit. However, I believe that I have my ports forwarded properly, and one torrent (I use three different private trackers, and can confirm that all the torrents I had downloaded do have seeds) does show seeds, with 2/40 seeds and 2/53 peers available. However, all the other torrents have 0/0 0/0 listed.

I must be doing something wrong, and there must be a simple solution....as I said, I've never had this problem before....this is very confusing (and frustrating)--any help would be greatly appreciated!

Trackers tab, tracker status.

What's the tracker status/error for these red torrent jobs?

[chrysolite]

Sorry.....on the four that won't show any seeds or peers, the DHT, Local Peer, and Peer Exchange all come up as "not allowed," with the tracker url itself listed as "connection closed by peer." The one that does connect on a couple of seeds has the first three as "working," although the url still reads "connection closed by peer."

What internet security software do you have installed?

[chrysolite]

Windows Firewall and Symantec Antivirus. I used to use ZoneAlarm (with no problems with torrenting), and did install it after my format, but then uninstalled it in frustration over getting the settings tweaked properly.

Could you post a hijackthis log please.
